For the first one, I was inspired by this card by Katherine Shudrova. Katherine is a fantastic stamper and I love everything she makes.

The sentiment is from an OLD Hero Arts messages set. Hero makes a few of these assorted messages sets every year, and they are well worth the investment. Used some black gouache paint to add a few speckles on the background.

I like this red card a lot. The flowers go with the sentiment. However, while I like the look of the second card, something is off. The circle of roses really doesn't connect with bravery. On the other hand, the yellow roses are beautiful.

Whatever. I am sending it to someone who is going through a struggle and that's what really counts.

Now you've got me wondering what I have that I might do this with. Both cards are very cool and inspiring ideas, and both are favorite colors of mine. I like the splatters on the first card, too. I never think to splatter my white cards.
